I28-R259-article-127492023-12-29T18:25:37Z Between romantic love and polyconsumption of bodies Entre el amor romántico y el policonsumo de cuerpos Navarro Martínez, Eva Díaz Ledesma, Lucas Garzaniti, Ramiro romantic love polyconsumption homosocialization erotic-affective paths Grindr amor romántico policonsumo homosocialización trayectorias erótico-afectivas Grindr This article seeks to understand the articulation between certain theoretical discussions from the Affective Turn and the logics of homosocialization in Grindr users. From a trans-inter-disciplinary standpoint, we analyze contemporary discussions around sexual-romantic relationships using the narratives of some user profiles about what is sought in the potential encounter. Through this, we identify two ways of grammaticalizing the display of emotions, affects and feelings: on the one hand, a hegemonizing model of heteronormative romantic love as an agapic sacrificial performance, where everything is provided without expecting anything in return; on the other, the commodification of subjectivity and the transformation of bodies into mere objects for polyconsumption. We detect a tension in which both poles feed off each other and consolidate themselves as the two faces of an affective order condensed by a rationale of market and [gendered] normalcy. This two-sided framework leads us to wonder about the conditions under which other ways of inhabiting the erotic-affective paths (outside the margins of the mono- and heteronormativity) can emerge. En el presente artículo se busca comprender los núcleos de articulación entre los debates del giro afectivo y las lógicas de homosocialización en usuarixs de la app Grindr. Desde un anclaje trans-inter-disciplinar, se analizan discusiones contemporáneas en torno a los vínculos sexorrománticos a partir de las narrativas de algunos perfiles de usuarixs sobre lo que se busca del potencial encuentro. A partir de esta aproximación, emergen dos maneras de gramaticalizar las formas de desplegar emociones, afectos y sentimientos: por un lado, un modelo hegemonizante del amor romántico heteronormado como performance sacrificial agápica, en cuya lógica se brinda todo sin esperar nada a cambio; por otro, la mercantilización de la subjetividad y el devenir de los cuerpos en meros andamiajes de policonsumo. Se engarza así una tensión en la que ambos polos se retroalimentan como las dos caras de un mismo orden afectivo condensado por las lógicas del mercado y la normalidad sexo-genérica. Este entramado bifronte lleva a preguntarnos por las condiciones de emergencia de otros modos de habitar las trayectorias erótico-afectivas por fuera de los márgenes de la mono y heteronorma.

This article seeks to understand the articulation between certain theoretical discussions from the Affective Turn and the logics of homosocialization in Grindr users. From a trans-inter-disciplinary standpoint, we analyze contemporary discussions around sexual-romantic relationships using the narratives of some user profiles about what is sought in the potential encounter. Through this, we identify two ways of grammaticalizing the display of emotions, affects and feelings: on the one hand, a hegemonizing model of heteronormative romantic love as an agapic sacrificial performance, where everything is provided without expecting anything in return; on the other, the commodification of subjectivity and the transformation of bodies into mere objects for polyconsumption. We detect a tension in which both poles feed off each other and consolidate themselves as the two faces of an affective order condensed by a rationale of market and [gendered] normalcy. This two-sided framework leads us to wonder about the conditions under which other ways of inhabiting the erotic-affective paths (outside the margins of the mono- and heteronormativity) can emerge. |
